comgress polarized? blame the GOP

[Truthmatters]

the number of filibusters by Republicans has escalated, and they have been far more willing to use the tactic than their opponents. Since 2007, the Senate Historical Office has shown, Democrats have had to end Republican filibusters more than 360 times, a historic record.

Polarization requires two sides. OP is a fail.

Jefferson also said this:
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them"
Most bad government has grown out of too much government".
And this is what we have become and this is what we need to change.

It don't count to the twat TDM if it does not fit her agenda... it is to be ignored like it never happened or existed...

With his own MIND and OWN WORDS he chose to call us a Democracy.

that is fact you fucking Idiot

And again, cuntbag, I showed you in the EXACT SAME LETTER where he spoke against democracy outside of the town level... and where republican control of government is what he was for

Indeed. The radical Leftists were simply out of control in their uncompromising partisanship, insisting at one point that we must 'pass [major legislation] legislation to find out what is in it.'

Freaky, partisanship, isn't?

 

[Papageorgio]

Yes which is why I call him Robmoney.

The cons we talk to here dont care about facts , thruth or anything but the republican party.

To them its an internets game and they have already picked a team.

A cheating losing team with NO morals or concern for the American people or the constitution

Great hyperbole and generalizations. Your commanders will be proud.

Oh man is this gonna be fun.

Lets pretend that Mittens is elected President.

And lets pretend that the Dems keep their majority in the Senate.

You rethugs are gonna be so happy with the filibuster's coming from the dems that you will shout with joy.

What goes 'roud comes 'round. Don't you love it. Gridlock.

But if Mittens does win, I sure as hell don't expect to hear one of you rethugs blame Obama for the mess Mittens can't fix. Remember, IF Bush had nothing to do with the present situation, then Obama couldn't have done anything to deserve blame when Mittens fails. And he will fail. One term at most. If elected.

The dems wont do it.

Too many of the Dems care more about country than party

So they'd vote for a bill they thought would hurt Americans?

New Study Finds Voter ID Laws Reduce Political Participation - Yahoo! Voices - voices.yahoo.com

By "Political Participation" you mean "Voter Fraud". And reducing fraud is fine with me.

That's the thing with Jefferson.

You can quote him supporting both sides of about any issue you want.

Bush got a lot more passed the Dems with less of a majority. Remember it was the GOP that took the filabuster to a whole new level. Sort of sabotaging our democracy. Won't even let things come up for a vote??? So the minority party can obstruct anything and everything?

Bush also used clever tactics to get things past the Dems. Obama has used a few of them too, like signing statements and riders and recess appointments. He had to. The GOP won't go along with anything. They must go.

Great news for Democrats and America is we are replacing our Blue Dog Democrats in our primaries. If they have moved too far to the right, they gotta go. We want true liberals representing us, the middle class. Not triangulators or centrists or corporate democrats.

P.S. Obama just put a tariff on Chinese Solar Panals to make trade in that vitol industry fair. Would Romney do that?

And if you don't like Citizens United, just remember the next President could replace 4 Supreme Court Justices. We can not have Romney in power. This is why I worry they are going to steal this one like they did 2000. All these shady GOP governors like Walker, Christy and Snyder. Bunch of corrupt evil rich white old men.

So you are also against Sen. Reid shelving bills and not allowing them to go up for a vote?

The system the Founders designed ALSO makes voter fraud illegal. But some seem to conveniently forget that "little" detail.

That's right Tm. Compromise, not bullied by the far left.
We have become a rule of the minority (Liberals 20% of the population).
The Majority of this nation is Conservative and moderate, not liberal.
"A nation ceases to be republican...when the will of the majority
ceases to be the law." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Address,
1808.

Jefferson calls us a Republic.

Are we supposed to hate the founders for something the "fopunders" did???
